Most of the tracks on the album seem to be unequivocally bad. I am almost certain I heard the same two chords being stroked over and over again to a completely static drum beat with little synth diddlies thrown around. It is like her writers aren't even trying. Even D.A.I. fell short of what I was expecting, and he has a stellar track record with this stuff. I am really longing for a return of good composition here. As suggested, I played a song from this album and then a song from her older albums and there was no competition in my mind.
I don't doubt that her lyrics are still wonderful as always but when she is so busy that she can't compose her own music anymore, and when her music directly suffers as a result, I would think her other responsibilities should give way. Nothing would please me more than seeing some more CREA tracks. And I don't mind Avex hiring writers for her, but stop hiring bad writers!
